Plastic Clever Schools is endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade and provides free, high-quality resources to take action on climate change by tackling plastic pollution.
The resources are accredited by the Royal Meteorological Society as Quality Climate Education Resources.
Sometimes though, it helps to have financial support. Maybe a supply teacher to cover a class and help you get ready, or new equipment to implement change.
That’s why we’re delighted to launch the latest round of the Plastic Clever Schools Action Fund. The fund provides grants of up to £500 to help schools deliver action on plastic waste. We welcome schools from around the world to apply.
